This is the heart-stopping moment a garbage collector survived being hit by a pickup truck - with help from a dumpster truck.<br /><br />The workers were on their way to take the trash in Chonburi, eastern Thailand, when the accident happened.<br /><br />CCTV footage shows the workers stopping at a corner of the road to collect the garbage when a speeding pickup truck rammed their vehicle.<br /><br />One of the workers was nearly hit while sorting out the garbage with a colleague who was flung out of the truck and landed on the dumpster that acted as cushion and prevented him from getting injured.<br /><br />Only the pickup driver was injured by the accident while both garbage collectors said they were lucky to dodge the crash.<br /><br />The fallen worker, Jare Sudprasong, 35, said she would been hurt more severely if there was no dumpster there.<br /><br />She said: "I only had some bruises from the accident because I landed on the dumpster. I would have had more serious injuries if it was not there."<br /><br />She added that road users should be more careful to avoid endangering people who are working hard.<br /><br />She said: "We have done everything under the safety procedure but the accident still happened so the road users should be more aware on the road."<br /><br />The police later went to investigate the scene and questioned the pickup driver after he finished his treatment at the hospital.
